What do you mean, “finishing coat?” Do you mean when you paint a kit, and you just topcoat it with a spray can, or when you topcoat an OOB?

I’ve done it different ways depending on mood and kit. for instance take the Exia or really anything from Gundam 00 every limb has a clear piece in it, so in that case I’d go all the way and spray each individual frame and armor part separately, ofcourse you could also mask the clear parts but the big thing for me is not to hit the clear parts with a matte. For a kit with less clear parts to worry about then segments should be fine but with segments there’s things you need to worry about like armor parts blocking the spray from reaching other armor and frame parts so you’ll need to spray let it dry then bend the limb and spray again. Then ofcourse sometimes there’s kits that you just want to get together quick and dirty and in that case then just spray the whole mobile suit in one go and be done with it.

so really what it boils down to is how methodical you wish to be with the kit.
